Leonardo DiCaprio makes his podcast debut on the ‘New Heights’ show hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce.
Leonardo DiCaprio made his podcast debut on the latest episode of the popular series “New Heights,” hosted by NFL players Travis and Jason Kelce, on Wednesday. The episode featured DiCaprio alongside fellow actor Benicio del Toro as they promoted their forthcoming action film, “One Battle After Another.” The Kelce brothers, known for their on-field successes and vibrant personalities, expressed palpable excitement during the interview, with Travis, a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs, highlighting the moment as “incredibly badass.”
Jason Kelce, a former player for the Philadelphia Eagles, aptly introduced their illustrious guests by noting their impressive accolades. Between them, DiCaprio and del Toro have secured four Golden Globe Awards and two Academy Awards, with their collective filmography having garnered nearly billion at the global box office. The understated yet humorous chemistry between the Kelce brothers and their guests was apparent as DiCaprio acknowledged the grandeur of the introduction, further echoed by del Toro’s agreement.
This hour-long conversation predominantly focused on the actors’ new film, which is scheduled for release on September 26, 2025. Nevertheless, DiCaprio also took a moment to reflect on his early career experiences. He recounted an instance where an agent suggested he change his name to “Lenny Williams” due to concerns that his original name was “too ethnic.” This advice was met with staunch resistance from DiCaprio’s father, George DiCaprio, who vehemently opposed such an alteration.
The appearance of DiCaprio and del Toro on “New Heights” comes on the heels of another record-setting episode featuring Taylor Swift, which amassed over 500 million views. In that episode, Swift discussed her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” and provided insights into her relationship with Travis Kelce, further elevating the podcast’s profile.
The Kelce brothers have consistently attracted high-profile guests to their platform, including notable figures such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Will Ferrell, and Shaquille O’Neal. As “New Heights” continues to bridge the worlds of sports and entertainment, it remains a compelling venue for fans to connect with their favorite celebrities in an informal and engaging setting.
